True Life in God

In the unrelenting pain of my spirit
I must speak,
lament in the bitterness of my soul;
come, I beg You, look at me;
have You done away with me?
My roots are thrust in You,
yet in my silence I say:
“The Lord God surely is upset with me;
He will surely cut me off one of these days;”
I look for light to understand,
but there is only darkness;
have I been maybe insensitive
to Your Goodness?
have I disappointed You in any way
or neglected You?
or has the sight of the sun in its glory,
or the glow of the moon
as it walked the sky,
stolen my heart from You,
so that my hand blew them a kiss?
My loving spouse, allow Me to pour on
you My sweet fragrance, and remember
one thing: I, Jesus Christ, the Word of
God, will always fulfil all your needs;
1
numerous are your failures, but I had
foreseen all of this, before even I
announced My Message to you; but I
have given you, in My immeasurable
Love I have for you, a place in Me, where
in that particular place I could bring
your soul in the perfection I demand of
My saints; ah, Vassula, overflowing
clemency is Me, fathomless love is Me,
and yet, you still know Me so little, My
dove; why these obscure thoughts of
Me? everything I have is yours and
forever;
2
be then of good cheer and spare
Me from this unnecessary Cup
;
the
Word of Life was given to you freely so
that you, in your turn, give it freely to
the others; I had a pattern in My Work,
1
Jesus means my negligences and failures.

Our Lord was saying these words very slowly with a
sad Voice for being still misunderstood by the
creature He has given, in His divine benevolence, so
much.
as you see, and I want you to keep doing
all the things you have learnt from Me
and have been taught to do in My Name;
do not fear anyone when you
assemble together in My Name to
christianise this
dechristianised
generation; everything you do is for My
honour and My glory; I am building; it is
I who do the building, and woe to those
who stretch their hand to destroy what is
being constructed by Me! devote
yourself now to My affairs and
remember that there is no frontier
between you and Me; I am always with
you, My beloved;
I bless you; ic;

(The Holy Spirit continues His Divine
Message of April 22, 1998.)
ah .... My Vassula .... I have chosen you
and I have not rejected you although you
too had ceased to be; and so it will be
that I will show in this same manner My
ineffable affection and My divine power
to anyone who is willing;
4
I will not
reject you but see how lenient My Love
for you compels Me to be? in these days
I am descending together with the
Father and the Son as three Witnesses;
God the Father is Spirit,
5
in that He
sends Me, the Spirit of Truth,
6
to be with
you for ever and lead you to the
complete Truth;
the Word of God, Light and Saviour
and who existed since the beginning,

Jn. 4:24. St Paul too in 1 Co. 15:45 speaks of Christ
as “life-giving Spirit”. The description “Spirit” in the
biblical sense does not define God’s nature so much
as it describes His life-giving activity. God is Spirit in
that He gives the Spirit.

Jn. 14:17.
